## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Hermes adapter produces terminal output with ANSI color codes on
stdout
> - These escape sequences flow through the UI parsers untouched and
render as raw garbage text
> - This PR adds ANSI stripping at the entry point of all four Hermes
parse-stdout entry points
> - The same regex is already proven in claude-local adapter
> - The benefit is clean, readable terminal output for Hermes agents
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No existing issue. This is a bug report:
**What happened**
Hermes terminal output displayed ANSI color codes as raw text in the
Paperclip UI, making agent output unreadable.
**Expected behavior**
Terminal output in run transcripts should be clean text without
invisible control characters.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Connect a Hermes agent to Paperclip
2. Create and assign a task to the agent
3. View the run transcript — ANSI escape codes appear as raw garbage
**Paperclip version or commit**
e6407b322 (upstream master)
**Deployment mode**

## What Changed
- Added `stripAnsi()` function using the same regex pattern from
claude-local adapter (quota.ts) — strips CSI and
OSC sequences
- Applied at entry point of `parseHermesStdoutLine` in hermes_local (TS
+ CJS)
- Applied at entry point of `parseHermesGatewayStdoutLine` in
hermes_gateway (TS + CJS)
- CJS files keep the function inline since the dynamic parser sandbox
has no module loader
- 5 files changed, +123/-8 lines
## Verification
- Smoke tested with real ANSI patterns from Hermes output — all samples
pass
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/hermes-paperclip-adapter exec vitest run
src/ui/parse-stdout.test.ts` — 9 passed
- TypeScript compiles clean for both hermes and hermes-gateway packages
- Adapter tests pass (5/6, 1 pre-existing Windows CI failure unrelated)
- Live tested on running Paperclip instance — ANSI codes no longer
appear in transcripts
## Risks
Low risk. Only affects Hermes parser output. Regex already proven in
claude-local adapter. No logic changes to parse
behavior — only strips invisible control characters before parsing.
## Model Used
DeepSeek V4 Pro — reasoning mode, tool use
